Beginning Web Development with ASP.NET Class
I am teaching a beginner ASP.NET online class called Beginning Web Development with ASP.NET at LVS Online.com.
This 6-week class will focus on the understanding the basics of how the .NET framework works with creating ASP.NET web applications using the C# programming langauage. Students will use the free web development tool Visual Web Developer 2008 Express to create their ASP.NET 3.5 web pages.
The class is only $30 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Overview
Week 2: C# Basic Syntax, and OOP Primer
Week 3: ASP.NET Web Controls Overview
Week 4: Web Controls: RadioButton, CheckBox, and List Controls
Week 5: The ASP.NET Event Model, Automatic Postbacks and View State
Week 6: Controlling Visual Appearance through Propertes, CSS and Skins
If you have taken either the Basic Web Applications with ASP or ASP E-Commerce Database Basics class, you will see all the huge differences between ASP and ASP.NET. These differences will show you how quickly and more efficiently you can create dynamic web sites.
To give you an idea of how each lesson looks, here is the first lesson (.pdf).
When Does Class Start?
The class runs five times a year for six weeks in January, March, May, August and October. To learn more view the course description page and contact me to find out the exact date on when you can register.






The class really challenged me and I learned a lot! Thanks Frank!
Your welcome Annette.
The instructor took you through the basics step by step, but offered additional resources for Those desiring more information about the discussion. I am looking forward to the intermediate class.
This is an excellent course. Previously, LVSOnline didn’t have any asp.net courses so I tried several books and always got stuck.
This course was very helpful not only in the material taught but the instructor, Frank, was very informative when I had any questions and also quick to respond.
I highly recommend this course. I am looking forward to the Intermediate class.
Glad you enjoyed the class. I will try and find some time to work on the “Advanced ASP.NET” class soon.
This is the class I’ve been waiting for LVSOnline to have for a long time. Frank did an excellent job explaining the difficult topics to us. Thanks Frank!
Looking forward to the intermediate class!
A really enjoyable class. Frank was fast to respond to my questions and his lessons were well written with consice instructions.
Frank gave us a very clear introduction to ASP.NET. Things I read in books that confused me were made clear by the teacher. I appreciated his openness to answer questions quickly and thoroughly.
Glad you liked it and learned alot.
I wasnt sure what to expect from an online class since I never took one before. After the first lesson was posted and I was able to ask a few questions on the dicussion board about the class I felt it would be a good experience.
After 6 weeks I am kinda sad it is over. I learned so much and was great interacting with the other students as well. I am hooked now.
Great Jim.
Feel free to ask me about other classes I teach or just a web-related question.
Frank,
Please teach more classes at LVSOnline.com. I look forward to your next ASP.NET class.
I will try to teach more classes Robert.
I just finished creating a Beginner JavaScript class and soon I will be working on another ASP.NET class focusing on database development.
Nice class Frank, I wasnt sure how I would like an online class, but I am glad I took it.
Taking online classes is fun!
If you have other questions about my classes please let me know.
Thanks for a very nice and helpful course.
Your welcome Boyd!
A very good opportunity to explore asp.net and C#. I enjoyed the chance to create several different web sites and then play with them to try different effects. Having taught C, C++ and Java in the past, adapting to C# was fun and interesting. The variety of settings available in asp.net objects is extensive. I’m looking forward to the followup classes.
Glad you enjoyed it Fred.
See you in the intermediate class next month.
I would highly recommend Frank’s introduction to ASP.NET for any beginner with one caution: some minimal experience with a programming language, preferably C#, though there is an adequate intro to enough C# (with web references) to get started.
The lessons advanced gradually enough for any beginner.
I enjoyed this introduction to ASP.NET and look forward to Frank’s more advanced lessons.

Hi Harry,
Glad I was able to help you with those questions you had about ASP to ASP.NET and PHP to ASP.NET conversions.
Hope you can take the Intermediate course later one.
Frank
I would recommend Frank’s class to anyone who wants to make the migration from Classic ASP. I felt at ease with this gentle introduction course, which emphasised well some key underlying basic concepts of ASP.net. Frank was very responsible on the Class discussion board, and this gave the course some of the warmth you might expect from attending a real life in person course.

Thanks Tryfon,
Glad you liked the class and learned alot. I’ll see you in the Intermediate Class in the upcoming session.

Frank is one of the best online instructors around. He goes the extra mild to help his students learn.
I have been (almost a year now) and will be taking more courses taught and hosted by Frank Stepanski as instructor.

I have no doubt Frank would go the extra ‘mild’ for a student to learn. However, I meant to type: ‘mile’.
